The momentous arrival of the first A380 in revenue service to JFK might not be a "hot photo" on any of the big picture sites, but here at NYCA it's going to be hotter than Jessica Alba sunbathing on the space shuttle launch pad. So post your photos HERE.

First one to post a photo of the whale bird on approach to JFK gets the undying admiration of your fellow NYCA'ers along with thousands of rubber necking anetters and jpnetters (who will have to look here since they'll be waiting a week for the pics to show up on their own sites ) and a note under your username indicating your awesomeness to all.

Please don't post anything else here until some photos are up. Thanks!

We had a huge turnout today, with over 40 people coming. The Mounds were so packed that there were people standing on the soccer field.

It was a great time, and great to meet so many new faces!

We started off tailgating by Firestone, with more cars than I've ever seen in that usually-empty area of the parking lot.



Then we worked our way over to the Mounds when we got some heads-up (thanks, TPA!). We were unfortunately plagued with clouds at game-time, so I backed off and took group photos while it passed, then we did another organized shot.

A beautiful livery on a Beautiful aircraft.

I saw it fly past as I was meandering through Queens... How much of that crowd actually fit on the Mound(s)?

I've been given permission to try again on Sunday...

This aircraft is starting to become one of my favorites of the modern aircraft. I didn't like it at all at first but that has changed alot, espescially after seeing it wear Emirates colors.

Great pics so far everyone! Will the A380 be on a daily schedule by October? I'd love to try and catch it when I'm up there then!

Geez does anyone work around here?

Great group shot. Now name everyone!!!!!

I agreed. It's gorgeous pictures newest A380. I can't wait to see her in JFK sometimes in the future. I'm glad you guys were went out to JFK during A380 was inauguration into JFK. I cannot believe it that I never see huge of A380 all of my entire life.

Hopefully if I will go to JFK to see new A380. Congratulations to EK is introduces newest A380 into JFK. Thanks all.

Lol you peen. I'd have thunk you'd send one to Nick.

Here she is!



What a great day!! Oh btw, thanks to Phil for the tasty beverages!

T-bird76, great shots! In the shot where you can see the gate it dwarfs every aircraft around, even the AI 77W! Also, is A6 only equipped with two jetways or can I only see the top level/first jetway?

There's three jetways there, you can't see the first one.

Thank's T-bird, and now when I look at the picture a little closer, I can see the first jetway's bottom under the second one a little, thank;s for pointing that out
